If You Don’t Carry Appendix, You Must Be Fat and Untrained?

About this video

Colion responds to commentary suggesting appendix carry is the only legitimate concealed carry method and that anyone not using it is either untrained or making excuses. He argues that while appendix carry offers performance advantages like speed and concealment, choosing a different carry position is a legitimate risk-management decision, not a sign of incompetence. Colion emphasizes that carriers should choose the method they’re most confident with rather than following dogmatic advice, especially given the inherent risks of pointing a firearm at vital anatomy.

Key takeaways

• Colion teaches that appendix carry offers performance benefits but involves pointing a firearm at critical anatomy like the femoral artery, creating tradeoffs that each person must evaluate for themselves
• According to Colion, choosing a different carry position than appendix is a valid risk-management decision, not necessarily a sign of being untrained or fearful
• Colion emphasizes that confidence in one’s chosen carry method is more important than following dogmatic recommendations, since hesitation and second-guessing can be dangerous in defensive situations
